When I was a Boy Scout, we played a game when new Scouts joined the troop.We lined up chairs in a pattern, creating an obstacle coursethrough which the new Scouts, blindfolded, were supposed to maneuver.The Scoutmaster gave them a few moments to study the pattern before our adventure began. But as soon as the victims were blindfolded,the rest of us quietly removed the chairs.I think life is like this game.Perhaps we spend our lives avoiding obstacleswe have created for ourselves and in reality exist only in our minds.We’re afraid to apply for that job, take violin lessons,learn a foreign language, call an old friend, write our Congressman — whatever it is that we would really like to dobut don’t because of personal obstacles.Don’t avoid any chairs until you run smack into one.And if you do, at least you’ll have a place to sit down.

I used to sit on the banks with a raftand watch the water roll lazily by.One day I pushed my raft into the shallows of the waterand found the water moved swifter than I thought,but my raft was actually a little rowboat.Then, after some time I rowed my little boat into deeper water.There were great storms, mighty winds, tremendous waves,and sometimes I felt so alone.But I have noticed my little rowboatis now a mighty shipmanned by my friends and loved ones, and beautiful calm seas, warm sunny days, and nights filled with comfortable dreamsalways double after a storm.Now, I could never go back and sit on the bank,in fact, I search for deeper water.Such is life when lived.

I will not die an unlived life.I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me,to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heartuntil it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.I choose to risk my significance;to live so that which comes to me as seedgoes to the next as blossomand that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.Life is beauty, admire it.Life is bliss, taste it.Life is a dream, realize it.Life is a challenge, meet it.Life is a duty, complete it.Life is a game, play it.Life is a promise, fulfill it.Life is sorrow, overcome it.Life is a song, sing it.Life is a struggle, accept it.Life is a tragedy, confront it.Life is an adventure, dare it.Life is luck, make it.Life is too precious, do not destroy it.Life is life, fight for it.
